The Visional Wheel turns, bringing new challenges, rules, and rewards each season.

VISIONAL WHEEL S3

ABERRANT PROGENY

In Visional Wheel S3: Aberrant Progeny, Metas will gain direct access to aberrant abilities to tackle dire survival challenges. Petrify your foes with the Watcher's gaze or incinerate enemies with the Scorcher's flames. Three polluted zones have also opened—players must strategically utilize monstrous powers to conquer zone-specific rules and unlock exclusive rewards.

VISIONAL WHEEL S2

Lunar Revelry

A crimson moon rises, enshrouding all realms in its light. A doom forever yet to come will descend once again. The Blood Moon will manipulate Nalcott for its amusement, provoking conflict among humans with tempting treasures. Only by defeating its avatar, the Lord of Moonlight, will you earn the ultimate reward.

VISIONAL WHEEL S1

STARFALL INVERSION

A colossal, shattered star looms in the heavens, its gravitational tides sweeping across Nalcott. Under their aberrant influence, objects and structures on the surface begin to rise uncontrollably. Yet, amid the chaos lie hidden challenges, treasures, and lots of fun! Are you ready to ascend into the sky?

Lunar Oracle

At dusk, a crimson moon rises, spreading a mysterious infection among both Deviants and Meta-Humans. A game of risk and reward is about to begin.

CODEX

DEVIATIONS & DEVIANTS

DEVIATIONS

There is something inexplicable on this planet—the Deviations. They defy logic and possess supernatural powers beyond life, time, and thermodynamics. Most are animated and sentient.

TERRITORY

They help Meta-Humans look after their territories, taking over daily tasks so the Meta-Humans can explore the world more freely.

COMBAT

They fight alongside Meta-Humans, providing support in battles and world exploration. They can expose enemies' weak points or transform into walls to block projectiles.

CRAFTING

They provide Meta-Humans with enhancement potions, tactical items, or peculiar gadgets. Drink a whimsical potion and turn into a chair that hides in plain sight.

DEVIANTS

Most creatures affected by Stardust transform into Deviants, while few can become Meta-Humans. Deviants aren't aggressive at first before being overcome by primordial instincts, turning savage and brutal.

WANDERER

The "Wanderers" tirelessly travel along their paths, as if reenacting every ordinary day before the Starfall. They have no destination, nor can they find their way back.
